[IMG] Absolutely magnificent.
The 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF comes, I believe, from a simplification of a solvent used in gun cleaning that was formulated by Ed Harris. He...
I no longer collect stoves, but when I did they were all users. When I found a stove that needed cleaning I'd seldom do more than giving it a...
Then, to my eye, it looks pretty clean as-is. A new cap seal and life is good.
I could be mistaken, though, and what looks like smoodge is brass with the remains of nickel over it. In that case, WOW, that's a lot of patina.
Patina, like time, cannot be replaced. I am a strict opponent of over-cleaning, especially polishing as it may damage the crispness of...
I have one of those. Found it one day in a shop and bought it. It had mouse poop in it. The next morning I turned it upside down to shake the...
Fell asleep and the part wound up staying in the fuel for 12 hours. It is unaffected by the fuel, no softening at the edges, no increased...
Looks serviceable to me. Works pretty good. I figure that in its lifetime it might see four hours of fuel contact; I have one sitting in Coleman...
Thank you for making my point so well. First, you buy a $20 bottle that has an idiot-proof cap on it, then you buy a $7 cap to replace the...
@Marc, Will do. I ordered them in ABS. It seemed a better option than PLA, which is a biodegradable bioplastic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though I am not...
I have never been a fan of MSR and never will be. The final straw was, when shopping for an additional fuel bottle, that they had installed the...
I was just looking at my J.C. Higgins bait casting rod and Pflueger reel last night, thinking I might take it out soon. I could take along my J.C....
Doc, it would seem more like "beating a warm spot on the ground where a dead horse once lay"...
My experience with the 123 is limited (I have a two 123 and two 123R) as I have only had to replace the seals in the caps once. Cleaning the old...
Yes, and you could, one-handed, fold the match down to the strike strip, cover it with the book cover, and thumb it sideways to light it. You...
The matches I received from the Missippi grocer were Penleys. This was after the demise of the Great American SAM, and I found the Penleys to work...
No, I think if I just stuff them in my sneakers I should get by OK. Speaking seriously, we'll probably buy some stuff and have it shipped home....
Those plastic ones were way better than the aluminum ones, plus you could get the salt and pepper shaker lids for them.
I tried to find some in France last December, but the hardware stores I visited didn't have any. Too urban, perhaps. I'm going to be in Scotland,...
